Emmy Awards 2012

Instead of live-blogging I decided to transcribe some texts that occurred between me and my friend Kate while watching the red carpet coverage on E!. As usual I started this way behind so it jumps around a bit at the beginning. It'll be like a little game to see if you can follow along.

There are lots of links, mostly to Red Carpet Fashion Awards. I don't always agree with her opinions but she gets great pics.

Kate okay Tom Bergeron's speech was funnyMe: He is very quick and usually snarky (two of my fave qualities in a person)Kate: I was pleasantly surprisedMe: He's the best part of Dancing with the (?)Stars(?)

Cumberbatch! with bonus Freeman!

Kate I like the way you write that title

Me: Yay Maggie Smith!Kate Yay for McGonagall!

Me: Cumberbatch!!Kate I want to have his babiesMe: Right?!?!Kate We can share him :) He looks like he has stamina

Thus ends the texts for the evening. I mean, how could it surpass the Cumberbatch sighting?

A few odds and ends:
-Holy crap, how did we miss Ashley Judd?!?!
-I'm still shocked that Mad Men was shut out completely.
-I'm sad that Downton Abbey didn't sweep but then I'm terribly biased.
-For some reason I was under the impression that the Hatfield and McCoy's TV movie sucked but I guess it was ok. Kevin Costner should think about what he's going to say before it exits his mouth. What was that stuff about the Emmy reminding him of the Olympics?!?!
- I'll never understand why they recognize mediocre work but then sometimes get it totally right, as with the wins for Homeland. (more on Homeland this week so check back)
